We are proud to be a partner of Get the Nation Learning Week. A new survey from @LearnWorkUK notes a sharp contraction in the number of adults learning nationally. Given adequate funding, public #Libraries are ideally placed to address this fall. https://t.co/sv9oun7jDb

It's #GreenLibraries week and did you know that using your library has a positive impact on the environment. From borrowing books and eBooks, attending community events, exploring our secret garden, or using shared tech, every library visit helps make a more sustainable world.

Our Chief Executive @HunterIsobel was at Stratford #Library yesterday for the start of #GetOnlineWeek, run by @GoodThingsFdn. Public #Libraries are crucial facilitators and drivers of #DigitalInclusion, and we are proud to support Get Online Week.
Mayor @RokhsanaFiaz joined @SciTechgovuk Minister Liz Lloyd at Stratford Library to hear about the work of @GoodThingsFdn and Newham's Digital Inclusion team to mark the start of #GetOnlineWeek. Digital Inclusion plays an important part in the Mayor’s Digital Economy Agenda.
